Pythagorean theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

4^2 + 3^2 = c^2

16 +9 = c^2

25 = c^2

c = 5

Answer:

B: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

use rise over run by connecting the two ends of the line to make a right triangle shape. The side that is the least amount of squares away is a and the longest leg of the triangle is b and the slanted part is c. You are using the pathagreum theorem.

1. Plug your a and b values in

(3)^2 + (4)^2 = c^2

Which is simplified down to 9 + 16 = c^2

2. Add

25 = c^2

3. Square root both sides to get rid of the ^2 on the c

√25 = c

4. Solve

c = 5 which is the length of the line!!

I hope this helps :)
